Chapter 145.3 - Companion Beast
Chapter 145.3 - Companion Beast
Edmund smiled bitterly and kissed Qing Yuns teary eyes, knowing that he would blame himself if he knew the truth: Baby, listen to me, when I followed you through, I just used my own consciousness to carry the energy I had plundered when I was the protagonist. These energies were originally yours as the enforcer of that space, which is why they returned to your soul. It was not you who caused the damage to me, okay?
Stupid, do you think I need something from you? Qing Yun knocked his chin on the mans shoulder, not letting him see the tears and self-blame in his eyes.
Edmund gently stroked Qing Yuns back as if comforting a child: Baby, look, Im fine now, arent I? The energy that should belong to me is inside my body. I am very strong. You know this best, dont you?
Although his baby looks cold and indifferent, Edmund knows that it is because he has never been exposed to sincere emotions since he was a child, so he cherishes any one of them beyond measure.
Hmph, powerful? Your throne is going to be taken away. Qing Yun gave him a furious look, pushed him away, and got up to put on his clothes, Hurry and clean up. Andrea is about to take the throne.
That said, Qing Yun frowned and added: I always feel that Andreas aura is a little strange, as if it is somewhat similar to the Heavenly Dao but somehow different.
Edmund reluctantly watched Qing Yun leave from his arms, and he thought about it: I guess its just the so-called system again. The Heavenly Dao has come to this world before, so its easy to put on a disguise.
Get up! Qing Yun has put on all his clothes. He looked at the still naked Edmund sitting on the ground and could not help but lift his foot and kick him, Andrea has something to do with my current identity. No matter what, I will not let him take the throne.
Hearing this, Edmund perked up and asked excitedly, Baby, what are you called in this world? Forrest told me your name is Ilos?
Edmund loves Qing Yuns soul. As long as his soul is there, the body is just a shell, making no difference in Edmunds eyes.
But he would also be interested in Qing Yuns different identities.
Qing Yun told him his name and also explained what happened to Ilos.
But what interested Edmund was Qing Yuns surname. He raised his eyebrows: Gled? Youre actually Gleds son?
The name of the first head of the Gled family was Gled, and he was one of the great generals under Edmund.
Qing Yun heard Edmunds words and gave him a wry smile: Youre wrong. Gled is the great-great-great-grandfather of Ilos.
Edmund fell silent, and he instantly had a sense of age crisis, hoping his baby would not dislike him for being too old.
Andreas enthronement ceremony will be today. Because he released the news that Edmund had disappeared, the empire was in a state of panic and could only hope that Andreas enthronement would dispel the panic in peoples hearts.
So because of todays enthronement ceremony, the entire empire took a day off, allowing everyone to see the enthronement ceremony live.
And this enthronement ceremony is open to all citizens. Everyone can come to the capital star to watch the enthronement of the new emperor.
Looking down at the dense crowd of people on the Capital Star, Andreas heart finally surged with the joy of a wish coming true.
So what if the system disappears now, the things in the system still remain on his side, and he has the support of the entire empire. When he is able to dominate the empires super energy weapons at will, not only will he not be afraid of that Ilos, but he will be able to use the tools provided to him by the system before to contract Ilos as his own slave.
By then, the ability of Ilos to kill 3S-grade ferocious beasts will not be a threat to Andrea but the biggest help.
Andrea now even began to aspire for the other spaces mentioned in the system. He will not only become the emperor of Valanst but also become the emperor of the entire universe, of all spaces!
Wearing a red robe, a symbol of power, Andrea walked step by step to the high platform. He lowered his head and waited for the prime minister to put the crown on him.
The prime minister began his grand speech: For the sake of Valanst, for the sake of all the contract people and companion beasts, we implore General Andrea to ascend to the throne and bless our empire!
I implore General Andrea to ascend the throne!
The people arranged by the council below already began to follow the prime minister and chant. The rest of the people were slowly driven up as well, but there was a very strange phenomenon, that is, there was not a single companion beast present.
Because for all the companion beasts, there is only one ruler for them, and that is the Star beast!
Please allow me to put on the crown for our new emperor
Just as the crown was about to fall on top of Andreas head, a voice came from mid-air. It was extremely domineering and overpowered all the noise, and even more so, it stopped the prime ministers movements.
The new emperor?
In the next second, the sky darkened. Everyone couldnt help but look up where the sound came from, but what they saw was like seeing the stars outside the atmosphere.
Then, the shadow slowly shrank, and everyone saw the image of the beast that was blocking the sunlight.
Blue and purple scales, a single horn on the forehead. Such an image is familiar to every citizen of the Valanst Empire, because the first beast they knew during their kindergarten education was this image.
This image is engraved in the outer shield of every planet, and there are even statues of it made of special materials in the interstellar.
Because this is their only ruler the Star beast.
At some point, numerous companion beasts arrived from various corners of the Capital Star, abandoning the contract person by their side and flocking to the place where the enthronement ceremony was held as if they were on a pilgrimage.
There were even powerful battle-type companion beasts standing on high places, raising their heads and letting out delighted shouts to greet their emperor.
In this instant, everyone realized that their true emperor had awakened!
Your Majesty! I greet Your Majesty!
A more genuine and louder cry rang out than the previous one imploring Andrea to ascend the throne. Every one of them sincerely called out and laughed as if they had seen a miracle coming.
When the Star beast finally landed, they also saw the man sitting on its back, and it was clearly Ilos who had made a big splash at the selection earlier!
Its Ilos! Sure enough, he can do anything. Hes a miracle!
Ilos has actually awakened His Majesty!
The fans of Ilos also went crazy instantly, screaming and waving the flower garlands they were holding towards their idol.
For this enthronement ceremony, Andrea has gathered half of the citizens of the Capital Star in order to create momentum.
But now, he sees what the people want more visibly.
The Star beast is the emperor who established this empire and is the only real ruler among humans and companion beasts. And even if he, Andrea, spreads all kinds of rumors and uses all kinds of means, he will only be a replacement in name.
The prime minister who was bringing the crown to Andrea had sat down completely on the ground, and the crown, a symbol of glory and power, fell helplessly into the dust.
Andrea looked at the Star beast and Ilos on its back for a moment and then suddenly swooped to the ground like a madman and took the crown in his hands.
Dont come over!
He clasped his thumb on the red jewel on the crown: This is the switch for a super energy weapon, so dont you come any closer! This is my enthronement ceremony, and I wont allow anyone to disrupt it! Come, First Legion, Second Legion, come out!
Andreas mind was already a mess, but he still didnt give up his plan. The army, coupled with super energy weapons, could cause disturbance to the Star beast and Ilos. He could use the contract to turn both the man and the beast into his slaves while he has the chance!
I am already your emperor! Listen to my orders! Andrea roared, but no one listened to his orders. The people below even looked at him in disbelief.
Because they can push Andrea to the top, but its all based on the fact that the Star beast Edmund is not there.
Youre plotting a rebellion? Edmund spoke up, his low voice seeming to ring out across the universe, Funny, since the fall of the Federation, no one has dared to point the button of a super energy weapon at me because the president of the Federation has already tried it.
These words instantly reminded everyone of Edmunds glorious history and also made Andreas arms tremble.
Also, give up the contract in your head. That kind of thing relies entirely on the strength of mental power. Be careful of rashly making yourself a fool. Qing Yun also said carelessly.
Now, he could also see that the Heavenly Dao had really resided in Andreas body but had now escaped. By now, the disguise that the Heavenly Dao made earlier had completely collapsed, and Qing Yun could see at a glance the so-called system in Andreas mind.
If Edmunds words frightened Andrea, then Qing Yuns words completely shattered his psychological defense, because this person actually knew his biggest secret.
Just then, the prime minister, who was limp on the ground, suddenly climbed up and frantically pleaded for help towards Qing Yun and Edmund: Help me! Andrea has taken control of me! He gave the bracelet to Phil in the selection round, and he also released the 3S-grade beast!
The prime ministers wail was heard clearly through the loudspeaker, and they looked at Andrea with eyes full of disbelief once again.
Andrea also finally sat down on the ground in despair, knowing that there was no longer any possibility for him.
In the end, Andrea was arrested on suspicion of disrupting the security of the empire, as well as threatening the lives of key officials. But Edmund would not punish him too heavily because compared to the other protagonists, all of Andreas actions were basically coerced by the Heavenly Dao.
Ilos! At this point, Villef, who had been standing by Andreas side, spoke in a fatherly tone, Ilos, you have done a good job of waking His Majesty up this time. Come home as soon as possible. Although your grandfather can only rely on medical equipment to sustain his life, he still misses you.
This tone instantly aroused Qing Yuns disgust: Mr. Villef, please dont use this tone to talk to me. Ilos was already killed by your current wife on the eve of the registration for the selection competition. As for you, after the death of your ex-wife, you surprisingly brought back a child older than me, so you are not much of a father to me either.
Villef gritted his teeth at his second sons words. Now, the entire Gled household was in chaos. Phil had been arrested, and Mrs. Gled had gone crazy and broken her leg when she lost her footing.
Now, he and his eldest son are also suspected of helping Andrea to plot rebellion. He spoke to Qing Yun because he could see that he had a great relationship with His Majesty, so he wanted him to put in a good word for the Gled family, but he did not expect to be replied to in this way.
You are Ilos father? Edmund looked at Villef, Regardless of whether or not, it is now meaningless. I declare that Ilos is released from his ties with the Gled family and that he is inseparably related to me alone.
Everyone was surprised for a moment by Edmunds words, an inseparable relationship? Arent they just contract person and companion beast?
In the crowds confused eyes, Edmund directly grabbed Qing Yun to carry him up high and then lowered his head and kissed the youths lips fiercely in full view of the public, making their relationship public.
There were shouts of surprise from below.
Obviously, they did not expect the companion beast and the contract person to be in such a relationship, but in the next second, people burst into laughter. While raising their voices, they scattered the flowers prepared around them high into the sky, blessing the pair of strong and seemingly mysteriously tied lovers.
They are the best match, arent they?
Without staying in this world much longer, Edmund was worried that Qing Yuns soul source would be taken away by the Heavenly Dao and threaten Qing Yuns life, so he quickly took Qing Yun away with him.
The world, because of his departure, will eventually see the emergence of other emperors, but Edmund will not allow the intrusion of the protagonists of the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps Valanst will split, and war will break out in the world again. But as the enforcer of the rules, Edmund will only step in when necessary.
In an uninhabited star system, a dark red starship streaked by like lightning with joy. The starship, which had been mercilessly destroyed by Qing Yun, once again regained its cool appearance. Horsts face was also hanging on the starship, only without the mass of red beard.
The Horst Star Pirates are up to their old tricks again, but now they can say with conviction when they encounter the police, Hey! We have been with the Star beasts contract person and lover. Are you sure you want to arrest us?
The Great World of Qian Yuan.
An old Daoist flew with a small child on his sword through an extremely wide depression. They came here to look for an elixir called Yin Yun grass, which would be used to refine a foundation-building pill for the small child.
Master, I saw it. There is a guardian beast of the Yin Yun grass around there. Wont we go down and take a look? The little child tilted his face and pulled the sleeve of the old master.
The old Daoist glanced down at random but instantly withdrew his gaze in fear: You little brat want to kill me? What is that place? That is the Hidden Cloud Valley! Thats the place where the devil Qing Yun lived. How would I dare to try my luck in that place?
Seeing the periphery of the so-called Hidden Cloud Valley, the old Daoist exhaled deeply, feeling that the surrounding pressure finally dispersed.
The boy was interested in the devil mentioned by the old Daoist and asked, Master, what kind of person is the devil Qing Yun? Are you afraid of him?
The old Daoist was provoked by the boy and immediately could not help but stand tall: I, Daoist Mo Zhen, have never been afraid of anyone!
When they arrived at the periphery of the forest and saw the imposing guards, the old Daoist went up and paid the fee, explaining to the young child, You just entered the sect, Im afraid you dont know about the cultivation world, so I really have to tell you about it.
That devil Qing Yun is an incredible character. You know the Sacred Dao Sect? The old Daoist said this and directed towards those guards of the Sacred Dao Sect, Now, it is ranked first in the cultivation world, and also controls the ascension channel, but at that time, the Sacred Dao Sect could not kill that old monster Qing Yun.
The Sacred Dao Sect will select a son of the Heavenly Dao to carefully cultivate every hundred years. Oh, that is a rare genius, and you cant compare. The old Daoist lamented, but those who can reach Mahayana in a few hundred years died one by one in the hands of that old monster, a total of 99 dead ah! The key is that the old devil was also sick but can reach such a point.
Back then, the Sacred Dao Sect had no reputation. Those proud sons of heaven were outstanding but had no fame. It was not until the hundredth son of heaven who led many sects to kill the devil Qing Yun that surprisingly attracted the appearance of the Heavenly Dao and instantly blasted that old devil to crumbs! At that time, the storm clouds changed, and even the mountains around the Hidden Cloud Valley were razed to the ground ah!
The old Daoist stroked his beard and sighed, as if the events of that year are still vivid: Later, the hundredth son of heaven, the Sacred Dao son made the name of the Sacred Dao Sect famous and dealt with various affairs in the world. A few people at the Mahayana stage stand behind the great sects, but behind the Sacred Dao Sect stands the Heavenly Dao ah. So you kid be smart, dont mess with the Sacred Dao Sect in the future.
Listening to the words of the old Daoist, a black dagger at the childs waist vibrated from time to time and had to be calmed by the childs hand to quiet down.
At first glance, the black dagger was thought to be a childs toy. Still, upon closer inspection, it can be found that it is engraved with extremely subtle patterns, and this little dagger can emit the aura of a fierce beast.
Anyway, the Sacred Dao Sect is beneficial to the world except for that devil. There were many tragic cases related to Qing Yun. The old devil has lived for quite a long time. I dont know how many sins he has done in this world! The old Daoist sighed again.
The child tilted his face and asked, So now that there is no more devil, its all good?
Speaking of this, the old Daoist pondered before saying, This is not true. Besides this old devil, there are other evils in the world. There are still tragedies, but there is the Sacred Dao Sect to deal with them, so we do not need to worry.
A trace of mockery that does not match his age flashed in the eyes of the boy, and his fingers gently rubbed the dagger at his waist, completely unafraid of being cut by the sharp edge.
Qing Yun did not know that it was such a feeling to hear about himself from others.
He had been back in this world for some time, but he was busy reshaping his body and had been in seclusion. Only recently did he find the Ming Yan Sword in the Hidden Cloud Valley, which had become a ruin, and then joined an ordinary sect in anonymity.
He was born in this world, and his soul source remained in this world. No matter how powerful he is, as long as the soul source is grasped by the Heavenly Dao, he will encounter danger. Therefore, Qing Yun returned to this world to get back his soul source.
Since this was the case, he had to conceal his identity to prevent the Heavenly Dao, which had completely mastered this world, from striking at his soul source, and to not alert the Sacred Dao Sect so that they would not make a move.
Seeing that the old Daoist flew out of the area with the little child on his sword, the guards of the Sacred Dao Sect also withdrew their surveillance.
At that moment, the earth suddenly shook, and the various beasts inhabiting the valley immediately fled in a panic. Immediately after that, several peaks around the Hidden Cloud Valley rose from the ground and instantly plunged into the clouds!
On this, there are three big, wild, and unrestrained words, Hidden Cloud Valley, clearly printed.
The surrounding clouds gathered to decorate the Hidden Cloud Valley again, like the appearance of when Qing Yun was still there. At the same time, the Sacred Dao Sects prohibitions placed outside the Hidden Cloud Valley were also destroyed, and the Sacred Dao Sects guards were directly blown out by the airwaves.
The energy in the valley surged and swept away everything. All the cultivators in the area or hunting or looking for supplies were transported out by this shock, each scared out of their minds.
The old Daoist who was just talking about Qing Yun was also scared and fell from the flying sword with a thud. He sat on the ground dumbfounded, looking in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Valley, shivering and saying to the boy.
The, the legend says that the old devils cleanliness issue was extremely serious. Wherever he is, flowers, trees, birds, and animals should also be clean, and no idle people should stay
The rest of the people also remembered this legend and used all their strength to escape frantically from this place.
In the whole world, all the great powers came out of their nests and flew up to the sky to keep a close eye on the situation in the Hidden Cloud Valley.
At this moment, a familiar sense of panic arose in everyones heart. The devil Qing Yun, who was able to fight the Heavenly Dao by himself, has returned.
